transmission-create: Create a private torrent with a 2048 KB piece size.
$ transmission-create -p -o ${path-to-example-torrent} --tracker ${tracker_announce_url} --piecesize ${2048} ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine

The command 'transmission-create' is used to create a new torrent file. Here is a breakdown of the different options and arguments used in this command:

  • '-p' (or '--private'): This option marks the torrent as a private torrent, which means that it will not be publicly listed on any torrent trackers.

  • '-o ${path-to-example-torrent}' (or '--output ${path-to-example-torrent}'): This option specifies the output path and file name for the generated torrent file. The '${path-to-example-torrent}' should be replaced with the actual desired file path and name.

  • '--tracker ${tracker_announce_url}': This option specifies the tracker announce URL for the torrent. The '${tracker_announce_url}' should be replaced with the actual URL of the tracker.

  • '--piecesize ${2048}': This option sets the size of each piece in the torrent, in kilobytes. The '${2048}' should be replaced with the desired piece size value (e.g., 512, 1024, etc.).

  • '${filename_or_directory}': This is the last argument for the command and represents the file or directory that you want to create a torrent for. The '${filename_or_directory}' should be replaced with the actual path and name of the file or directory.

In summary, this command will create a new torrent file using the specified options and arguments, including a private flag, output file path, tracker announce URL, desired piece size, and the file or directory to be included in the torrent.
